Abstract:
Large threshold voltage shifts of silicon gate FET devices having a composite nitride-oxide gate dielectric are greatly reduced by subjecting the nitride to a dry oxygen annealing at temperatures between 970*-1,150*C prior to depositing the silicon gate electrode. Annealing at 1,050*C applied for a duration of one-half to one hour produces excellent results.
Abstract:
Large threshold voltage shifts of silicon gate FET devices having a composite nitride-oxide gate dielectric are greatly reduced by subjecting the nitride to a dry oxygen annealing at temperatures between 970 DEG -1,150 DEG C prior to depositing the silicon gate electrode. Annealing at 1,050 DEG C applied for a duration of one-half to one hour produces excellent results.
